Les Argiles d'Orto Vins Negre

Les Argiles d’Orto Vins Negre is a red wine from the D.O Monstant produced by the Orto Vins winery. This wine is a blend of 2 different grape varieties: Grenache (90%) and Samsó (10%).

The grapes used to make Les Argiles d’Orto Vins Negre comes from old vines, situated near the town of El Masroig. The vineyards ae home to clay soils, which gives the wine its name as Argila (Les Argiles) is the word for clay in Catalan. The vineyards are cultivated organically

Once the grapes have been harvested, they are transported to the winery where the winemaking process begins. Firstly, the grapes are destemmed. The juice obtained then undergoes a long maceration, followed by alcoholic fermentation which is carried out in stainless steel tanks. The wine then ages for 3 months in the same tanks, before being bottled and placed onto the market.


Orto Vins is a young winery, founded in 2008, and is situated in the town of El Masroig. Founded and lead by four partners, the aim of the project is the produce wines that express the character of the terroir using grape varieties native to the area.
